PC upgrade for around £600

[AlfieWest42]

I'm currently running an older setup, and still using a LGA 1150 cpu and motherboard with ddr3 ram. After having many issues with the PC of late, I'm fed up of the socket and want to upgrade to some newer and higher specs. I currently have an old, low spec i5 with a GTX 960.

Can anyone reccomend a good CPU, motherboard and a good set of RAM to get for around £600?

Thanks

not going to assume you have an atx case, but sticking with the intel side of things, i have also included an 8gb rx 570 given you have the budget for it and can afford to change all 3 items, so you might as well update.
